Certainly one of the
most versatile jazz guitarists
around, Coryell
enlists the S.F.-based Wide Hive Players
to create a funky, bluesy album with Grant
Green-style soul. The “acid” touches—mainly
filter effects, wah, and distortion on Coryell’s
solos—give it a modern flair, but his lovely
pure acoustic playing on tunes like “The Last
Drop” and the angular “One for T.G.” is as
trad as it gets. Wide Hive Records.
